There are some careful considerations that need to be thought over before planning a big event, such as a wedding. Although planning a wedding can be exhilarating and lots of fun, it is never easy and can turn into a very stressful time. Listed below are some of the things you will need to consider very carefully.
Place And Time – The first things that any wedding planner needs to determine is the location of the wedding and the time it will take place. Wedding venues can range from the city to the country and from outdoors to indoors. For outdoor weddings, choices can range from a breezy beachside ceremony to a cozy garden event. If you decide to have the wedding indoors, the next step is to decide whether to have a conventional church wedding or one in a hotel venue. The choice is ultimately yours; however, consider the ability for guests to easily arrive at the location. Once the place is decided, the time of the ceremony should be chosen. Do you want a wedding in the evening, afternoon, or morning? Again, consider the ability for most of your guests to attend at the time you chose. If these factors are not considered, the attending guests could be few and far between.
Decor And Design – Decorations are an integral part of any wedding, regardless of the location chosen. However, make sure the decor coordinates with the scenery. Flowers are typically the first decorating concern. Make sure the florist uses fresh flowers that will remain vibrant throughout the occasion. A few of the most popular flower selections are roses, tulips, daisies, and calla lilies. If you are having a church wedding, the options are limited for decoration, but consider trimming the pews or chairs with bows, ribbons, and tulle. If the venue is relatively minimal, consider integrating a wedding arch. It has great symbolic meaning for the union of two people and always makes a great backdrop for photographs after the ceremony.
Guests And Invitations – You will want to share your joy on your special day with all your family and friends, and you will want all your guests to have a lovely time. If you plan on feeding your guests, be sure that the menu is well-planned. Double count your guest list to ensure that you have provided enough food for everyone who is attending. If you like, you can ask your guests while the menu is still in the planning stage if they have any special dietary restrictions that would keep them from enjoying themselves. Plan your invitations so that they are in keeping with your decorations of the theme of your wedding.
These are a few of the basic elements of a good wedding. Remember, do not rush and be sure to make your decisions carefully. This is your special day, so enjoy all of the facets, including the planning, and everything else will fall into place.
